teeth which distinguish some Of our town
populations are 10 a great extent due to
their inability to get these articles of the

CoIors from Coal Tar.

Prof Watson Smith, of Owens College
Manchester, England, in speaking of col
ors obtained from coal tar, recently said .
Formerly they used to rely principal
" upon vegetable DIVES of animal origin.
The vegetable or wood dyes, however,
had to a large extent disappeared, and
shere were net many Of these with which
they needed to trouble their minds, be-
cause they had been replaced, and would
be still further replaced, by other mater
ials. There were really only two Of these
vegetable dyes remaining-indigo and
logwood-all other wood dyes having
been already more or less replaced by
coal and tar dyes.
Lac dye had been entirely displaced,
and the consumption Of eochineal had
been reduced TO probably less than 200
tons per year. A great deal has been said
against coal tar dyes. They were told
that these dyes were fugitive and poison
ous, and that there could not be produc-
ed from them as fine a shade as was OBJ
tanned from the vegetable dyes Now,
all this was fallaci0us. If all that had
been said against coal tar eolOrs was true.
one would naturally suppose that the
consumption of them would decrease.
But what was the fact Why, in the last
year the consumption Of these coal tar
colors had increased more than thirty
three per cent. Trade last year was bad
all over the worid-they hoped that this
